Chapter 57: Wen Qingshan
Hearing the sound of a quarrel outside the shop, I and Huang Yixian hurriedly ran out of the house.
Niu Fatzi, who has always been mild-tempered, was extremely excited, and we all felt strange, and when we looked at the person again, we immediately understood what was going on, it turned out to be no one else, it was the original Niu Shaohua who went to Niu Fatman's house, saying that he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy the "Luban Book", and now he is recognized by Niu Fatzi as the guy who killed his father's enemy - Wen Qingshan.
Seeing that it was Wen Qingshan, me and the cheap also wanted to do it, Huang Yixian immediately shouted: "Stop it!" ”
In front of Huang Yixian, we didn't dare to be presumptuous, so we had to hold back, but we all clenched our fists and glared angrily at the fat man's "father-killing enemy" in front of us.
Huang Yixian had actually heard us say that Wen Qingshan followed Niu Shaohua to Niu Fatty's house to "force" his father to hand over the "Luban Book", and he was also planning to wait for me and the cheap to go back to school, follow the two of us to the provincial capital, and find Wen Qingshan to ask the matter in person, but he didn't expect him to come to the door by himself.
Huang Yixian stepped forward, hugged his fist at Wen Qingshan, and said coldly: "Boss Wen, don't come to harm!" ”
Wen Qingshan hurriedly hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Master Huang, I came to Liangxian for half a month, and I only came to visit today, don't blame me." ”
Huang Yixian didn't talk nonsense with him, pointed to the fat cow who was standing on the side, and asked straight to the point: "Does Boss Wen recognize him?" ”
Wen Qingshan glanced at the fat man, nodded, and said, "I recognize." I've heard about his father, but I'm here today, firstly, to visit Master Huang, and secondly, I heard that he is now in Qibao Zhai, so I came to see ......."
Before he finished speaking, the cheap roared angrily on the side: "Don't fucking cry a cat here!" I'll hack you right now. After the cheap finished speaking, he picked up the paper cutter on the counter, and Zhai Bo, who was standing aside, saw this and hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm.
Huang Yixian stepped forward quickly, snatched the paper cutter in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be impulsive! This matter may not have anything to do with Boss Wen, listen to him first. ”
Everyone turned their heads to look at Wen Qingshan, waiting for his explanation.
Wen Qingshan sighed and said, "I know that you must think that I took away the Book of Luban, but in fact, until now, I have not been sure whether this strange book really exists in Mr. Niu's hand. ”
I opened my mouth and asked, "Since you are not sure, why did you come all the way from the provincial capital to Liangxian for the Chinese New Year?" ”
Wen Qingshan explained: "Actually, I came to Liangxian this time, not specifically for the "Luban Book", but for other things. ”
"Humph! Don't quibble, about the Niu family's possession of the "Book of Luban", only Niu Shaohua and that guy know that if it wasn't for the two of you, who else would it be! ”
Wen Qingshan glanced at me and said, "Little brother, you are inevitably underestimating Wen someone, for the sake of just a "Luban Book", I will not do such a hurtful thing." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Huang Yixian again: "Master Huang, you should know who I am, do you think I will do this?" ”
Huang Yixian pondered for a moment, raised his head and said to a few of us: "I believe that this matter is not the work of Boss Wen, Boss Wen has always been above board, and he will never do anything to snatch books and hurt people." Speaking of this, he turned his head to Wen Qingshan and said, "However, even if this matter is not done by you, Boss Wen, it is difficult for you to get out of it, if you didn't want to buy this book, maybe you wouldn't have caused these troubles!" Since you are here today, why don't you explain the whole thing in front of the cow carpenter's son, how do you know that the cow carpenter has such a strange book in his hand, and why did he spend a lot of money to buy it? ”
Wen Qingshan nodded and told us.
It is said that Wen Qingshan is actually an antique dealer, running an antique shop in the provincial capital, the shop mainly deals in some ancient porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, etc., and also sells some high-grade jade, because Wen Qingshan's reputation is very good, not only the antique calligraphy and paintings sold are almost all genuine, but the price is also very fair, so he can be regarded as a very prestigious figure in the industry.
About half a year ago, an old man came to his shop, this old man was not interested in other antiques, so he stared at the ancient books in the store, he seemed to be looking for some kind of books, and carefully browsed all the ancient books in the store, but Zuihou still shook his head in disappointment.
Wen Qingshan felt strange, so he stepped forward to ask the old man what he was looking for, the old man told Wen Qingshan that he wanted to find the "Luban Book", Wen Qingshan had naturally heard of the "Luban Book", and also knew about the curse of this strange book, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly asked the old man why he wanted to find this long-lost strange book, the old man only said that it was for collection, and also said that as long as the content in the book was true, whether it was the version of that dynasty, he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, and left a phone call for Wen Qingshan.
Because it is not easy to find a long-lost ancient book, it is impossible to find it. So Wen Qingshan didn't take this matter to heart at the time, however, it was such a coincidence, a guy in Wen Qingshan's store met Niu Shaohua, and this guy happened to hear the conversation between the old man and Wen Qingshan, so he told Niu Shaohua about it. As soon as Niu Shaohua heard it, he said that it was a coincidence, he was able to get the "Luban Book", and the guy immediately took Niu Shaohua to see Wen Qingshan.
Wen Qingshan didn't believe what Niu Shaohua said at first, because Niu Shaohua looked like a ruffian and didn't look reliable, but he didn't refuse, only said that if Niu Shaohua could get the book, he was willing to pay 100,000.
Niu Shaohua was overjoyed when he heard that there was so much money, and immediately said that within half a month, he would bring the book, and when the time came, he would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
However, more than half a year has passed, and Niu Shaohua has not been able to bring the book. This was in Wen Qingshan's expectation, he even almost forgot about it, he happened to come to Liangxian County to do business during the Chinese New Year, and suddenly thought that Niu Shaohua was from Liangxian County, so he made a call, originally he just wanted to find Niu Shaohua to ask a place, but Niu Shaohua took the initiative to mention the book to him.
Niu Shaohua said that the book was in the hands of one of his relatives, but his relatives refused to sell the book to him, and he was still trying to find a way. Wen Qingshan said that after he came to Liangxian, he could come to his door in person to interview his relative, and if it was confirmed that it was genuine, the price could be negotiated.
So on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Niu Shaohua led Wen Qingshan to Niu Fatzi's house.
At that time, Wen Qingshan saw that Niu Shaohua took out an IOU, thinking that Niu Fatzi's family really owed Niu Shaohua money, and then looked at Niu Fatzi's family can be said to be a family with four walls, and suddenly felt pity, so he said that as long as Niu Carpenter was willing to take out the "Luban Book", he was willing to help Niu Carpenter pay off the debt owed to Niu Shaohua, and also promised to give Niu Fatzi's family another 100,000 yuan. Coupled with the 100,000 yuan he promised Niu Shaohua before, he actually has almost no money on this deal, and he may even lose money. Because purely from the perspective of collection, an ancient book of the Qing Dynasty may not be worth so much money.
However, the cow carpenter still refused to take out the book, so the fat man also quarreled with Niu Shaohua. Later, I happened to go with the cheap, so I started with Niu Shaohua. In fact, Wen Qingshan also felt at the time that this Niu Shaohua should really be beaten, and on the first day of the New Year, he came to ask for debts, wouldn't it be tantamount to touching other people's mold, but after all, he was going with Niu Shaohua, and if he watched him being beaten on the sidelines, it didn't seem appropriate, so he would come forward to stop it.
But after this incident, Wen Qingshan felt that Niu Shaohua was really not a reliable person, and he saw that Niu Carpenter was determined to refuse to sell books, so he dispelled the idea of buying books, and after saying goodbye to Niu Shaohua that day, he never met him again.
Wen Qingshan finished telling the whole story, his words were sincere, not like he was lying, after listening to Niu Fatman, he said angrily: "Then it must be Niu Shaohua who did it!" I'm going to find this guy out and avenge my dad!" ”
Huang Yixian was a little puzzled, he frowned and said: "This "Luban Book" is not worth a penny in Niu Shaohua's hands, if it is really him who did it, he should also take the book to find Boss Wen, you are." ”
Wen Qingshan said: "I originally thought so, but these days, he hasn't even called me." I was a little puzzled until yesterday when I learned that since I told him he wasn't going to buy the book anymore, he went to my guy in the store and asked for the phone number of the old man who actually wanted to buy the book. ”
Huang Yixian was slightly stunned: "According to this, Niu Shaohua is very likely to take the book and go directly to this old man, Boss Wen, can you contact this old man?" ”
Wen Qingshan shook his head: "After I learned about this yesterday, I immediately dialed this old man's mobile phone, but it was already turned off. Now if you want to contact him, I'm afraid it's not easy. ”
The cheap said angrily: "Hmph! What is not easy! I think it's just you making up a story to fool us! ”
Wen Qingshan said with a straight face: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the case!" However, since this incident started because of me, I will never shirk my responsibility, and I will do my best to investigate and give you an explanation! ”
Huang Yixian nodded: "Then please Boss Wen, if there is any news, please let us know immediately." ”
"Master Huang, don't worry, I have already greeted the people on the road and asked them to help find the whereabouts of Niu Shaohua and the old man, and I believe that they will be found in a few days." Wen Qingshan said, took out a thick envelope from his clothes pocket, turned his head to Niu Fatzi and said, "Little brother, this is 30,000 yuan, you can take it." If you have any problems in the future, just come to me. ”
